It's National Lipstick Day!

My power colors are a vibrant red and a hot pink, but on the regular day, I love a coral or n**e nourishing gloss.

If you're the lippie type, what's your go-to shade?

Determining your skin type is essential for picking out the right skincare for you. Here are some basic guidelines in determining your skin type:

Oily Skin:
-Your face is shiny or greasy by mid-day regardless of the season.
-You frequently experience breakouts
-You have large visible pores

Combination Skin:
-Your T-Zone is consistently oily and your cheeks are often dry
-Your visible pores are concentrated to your T-zone area
-You experience acne and dry patches at the same time

Dry Skin
-You experience dry patches or flaking skin mid-day
-Your skin is rarely oily, even at the end of the day
-Your skin often feels tight, itchy or dry after cleansing

Normal Skin
-Your skin doesn’t get more oily or more dry during the day
-You only experience dry patches or excess oil seasonally
-You rarely experience breakouts or are sensitive to products

Sensitive Skin
-You often experience redness or irritation after applying new products or products with ingredients like fragrance
-You have skin conditions like rosacea, eczema or psoriasis

Lets face it, skincare routines are intimidating! The basics for simple skincare don't have to be though!

All you need is the basic three: cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen. Once you create a comfortable routine with these three products you can start adding the more targeted products like serums, masks and more.

Once you have your basic products, create a routine:

☀️AM - cleanse to start your day, protect with a moisturizing sunscreen
🌙PM - cleanse to remove product, free radicals and sweat, moisturize

Who doesn't love a great prank to go with costume makeup?!

Throwback to the time I did my makeup like a ventriloquist dummy and sat on my husband's side of the bed until he woke up 🤣

What's an epic prank you've pulled?

Your words have the power to hurt or heal.

I spent way too long not keeping that in mind when I spoke and my dry communication hurt way too many people. I own that.

But I also own the fact that my words still have the power to heal no matter what my past holds. I am healing myself and in turn learning to encourage and empower those around me to heal as well.

In a world full of discouragers, I choose to be an encourager.

Who is with me?
